Import legacy data with Open-ESB: CSV file

One of the objective of Open-ESB that processes XML messages only, is to integrate legacy systems in business processes. However very few legacy systems generate XML messages. In order to import and export of legacy data Open-ESB designers reused a powerful tool from Seebeyond name the "Encoder". The "Encoder" is fully embedded in the schema editor but at Pymma, we found that the "Encoder" tool a bit tricky and its documentation needs improvement. This paper details how to import one of the most common legacy format the CSV file.
